CEO Of Rory McIlroy: No More Mistakes, Next Decade Mine
/Rory McIlroy, CEO and Chairman of Rory McIlroy, Inc, reiterated after winning the Race To Dubai that he won't be making the same mistake with his empire going forward.
The fighting words have to be music to the ears of tour commissioners and fans who have suspected the CEO wasn't taking the job as seriously as he should have been. But a focused, no-more-kickabouterering McIlroy should put fear in his opponents.
Iain Carter reporting after McIlroy's win Sunday capped off a strange year marred ultimately by his soccer-injury prior to The Open.
"I had a big lead in the world rankings and you see Jordan and Jason play the way they did. Fields are so deep, you can't let up at all.
"Tagging along with that, you know, this is my time to capitalise on my career. The next 10, 15 years is my time.
"I really can't be doing silly things like playing football in the middle of the season to jeopardise even six months of my career. It's a big chunk where I could make some hay and win a major or two.
"I won't be making those mistakes again next year."
Someone learned his lesson! Look out world...
